28、aching 4 meters D. limit the robot to a certain area B Its no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. Thats especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents.

29、Its also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes （收养孩子的家庭） because of parents who cant or wont care for them but refuse to give up custody （监护） rights. Fourteenyearold Kimberly Mays fits neither description， but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly h

30、as been the object of an angry custody baffle between the man who raised her and her biological parents， with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father shes ever known and that her biological parents have “no legal claim” on her. The ruling， th

31、ough it may yet be reversed， sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. Thats an important development， one thats long overdue. Shortly after birth in December 1978， Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Ki

32、mberlys biological parents， Ernest and Regina Twigg， received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests showed that the child wasnt the Twiggs own daughter， but Kimt only was， thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989， the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maint

33、ain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting fights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed. The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue （起诉） on her own behalf. Thus he m

34、ade clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit. Certainly， the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents arent always preferable to adoptive ones， and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the

35、 rights of children. 39. We can learn from the Kimberly case that . A. biological parents shouldnt claim custody rights after their child is adopted B. the biological link between parent and child should be emphasized C. foster homes bring children more pain and suffering than care D. children are m

36、ore than just personal possessions of their parents 40. Kimberly had been given to Mr. Mays . A. by accident B. out of mercy C. at his request D. for better care 41. The authors attitude towards the judges ruling could be described as . A. doubtful B. critical C. cautious D. supportive C Waiting as

37、a Way of Life Waiting is a kind of suspended animation， a feeling that one cant do anything because one is waiting for something to happen. Waiting casts ones life into a little hell of time. It is a way of being controlled， of being immobile and helpless. One can read a book or sing or chat with st

38、rangers if the wait is long enough to begin forming a bond of shared experience， as at a snowedin airport. But people tend to do their waiting impassively. When the sound system went dead during the campaign debate in 1976， Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter stood in silent suspension for 27 minutes， looki

39、ng lost. To enforce a wait， of course， is to exert power. To wait is to be powerless. Consider one minor form. The telephone rings. One picks up the receiver and hears a secretary say， “Please hold for Mr. Green.” One sits for perhaps five seconds， the blood pressure just beginning to cook up toward

40、 the red line， when Green comes on the line with a hearty “How are ya？” and business proceeds and the moment passes， Mr. Green having established that he is in control， that his time is more precious than his callees. Waiting is a form of imprisonment. One is doing timebut why？ One is being punished

41、 not for an offense of ones own but often for the inefficiencies of those who impose the wait. Hence the odd rage that waits cause， the sense of injustice. Aside from boredom and physical discomfort， the subtler misery of waiting is the knowledge that ones most precious resource， time， a fraction of

42、 ones life， is being stolen away， irrecoverably lost. Americans have enough miseries of waiting， of coursewaits sometimes connected with wealth and leisure. The lines to get a passport in Manhattan last week stretched around the block in Rockefeller Center. Travelers waited four and five hours just

43、to get into bureaucracys front door. A Washington Post editorial writer reported a few days ago that the passengers on her 747， diverted to Hartford， Connecticut， on the return flight from Rome as a result of bad weather in New York City， were forced to sit on a runway for seven hours because no cus

44、toms inspectors were on hand to process them. The great American waits are often democratic enough， like traffic jams. Some of the great waits have been collective， tribalwaiting for the release of the American hostages in Iran， for example. But waiting often makes class distinctions. One of the mor

45、e depressing things about being poor in America is the endless waiting in welfare or unemployment lines. The waiting rooms of the poor are often in bad conditions， but in fact almost all waiting rooms are spiritless and blankeyed places where it always feels like 3 in the morning. People wait when t

46、hey have no choice or when they believe that the wait is justified by the rewarda concert ticket， say. Waiting has its social orderings， its rules and assumptions. Otherwise peaceful citizens explode when someone cuts into a line that has been waiting a long time. It is unjust； suffering is not bein

47、g fairly distributed. Oddly， behavioral scientists have found that the strongest protests tend to come from the immediate victims， the people directly behind the line jumpers. People farther down the line complain less or not at all， even though they have been equally penalized by losing a place. Wa

48、iting can have a delicious quality （“I cant wait to see her.” “I cant wait for the party”）， and sometimes the waiting is better than the event awaited. At the other extreme， it can shade into terror when one waits for a child who is late coming home ormost horriblyhas vanished. When anyone has disap

49、peared， in fact， or is missing in action， the ordinary stress of waiting is overlaid with an unbearable anguish of speculation Alive or dead？ 42. In the first paragraph， the writer introduces . A. how people wait in different situations B. the great anger of people caused by waiting C. how miserable

50、 people feel while waiting D. negative aspects of waiting and some ways of coping 43. The example given in Paragraph 2 shows that . A. one can receive an unexpected phone call B. sometimes one is forced to wait C. Mr. Green is too slow to come to the phone D. a caller is always superior to a callee

51、44. Which of the following statements is true？ A. Waits are considered terrible by Americans. B. Waiting is sometimes considered pleasant. C. People wait for different reasons in America. D. Travelers in America are free from waiting. 45. According to the passage， people waiting in a line . A. fail

52、to protest against line jumpers B. all hate the line jumpers very much C. consider line jumping an immoral behavior D. respond differently to the line jumpers 46. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. Americans were greatly concerned about the American hostages in Iran B. waiting for the Ame

53、rican hostages in Iran to be released was great C. the American hostages in Iran were admired by people at home D. all Americans were waiting for the American hostages to be released D Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a longhandled brush. He stopped by the fence in front o

54、f the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it， and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down. He knew that his friends would arriv

55、e soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire. The job of raising children is a tough one. Children dont come with an instruction handbook. An

56、d each child is different. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration， not knowing what to do. But in raising childrenas in all of lifewhat we do is influenced by our culture. Naturally then， American parents teach their children basic American values. To Americans， the goal of parents

57、is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy， each child may get his or her own room. As children grow， they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment， as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood， th

58、ey choose their own careers and marriage partners. Of course， many young adults still seek their parents advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “leave the nest” at around 18 to 21 years old， they want to be on their own， not “tied to their mothers apron strings.” The relationsh

59、ip between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individualsnot as extensions of themselves. They allow them to fulfill their own dreams. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed. When children be

60、come adults， their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But contrary to popular belief， most adult Americans dont make their parents pay for room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults， they respect and honor their parents. Most young couples with c

61、hildren struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. In recent years， though， a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day care center so Mom can work. Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that

62、 attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children. A number of women are now leaving the workforce to become fulltime homemakers. Disciplining children is another area that American parents have different opinions

63、about. Many parents feel that an oldfashioned spanking （一顿打） helps youngsters learn what “No！” means. Others prefer alternate forms of discipline. For example， “time outs” have become popular in recent years. Children in “time out” have to sit in a corner or by a wall. They can get up only when they are ready to act nicely. Older children and teenagers who break the rules may be grounded， or not allowed to go out with friends. Some of their privileges at home like TV or telephone use may also be taken away for a while. Although discipline isnt f
